Simple Minded Bridge by Jim King, "King of Hearts" was easy and useful! I've been trying for years to get my husband to show an interest in bridge-with no luck. I set Jim King's book on the coffee table. The next thing, G is asking me questions on how to play bridge! Yippee!! Thanks, Jim, for not making bridge threatening and overwhelming!Cookie

What a great book that taught me to play a great game!
As a senior citizen I assumed bridge was just too complicated for me to learn at my age. Mr. King's easy directions and excellent examples helped to teach an "old dog new tricks".
I am now playing once a week and it has opened a new hobby that I am hooked on.
Thank you "King of Hearts"!
